Daemons right order?

Hey guys i've a doubt about the starting order of daemons. I've installed powersaved daemon for cpu scaling and i've modified my rc.conf.
Now i've this row for DAEMONS:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network acpid crond @alsa @fam @portmap dbus @hal @powersaved @samba @httpd @mysqld gdm)

the system works but i've insert the dbus daemon because after the installation of powersaved the gnome-power-manager crashed at gnome startup. Before powersaved installation i don't load dbus at startup.

Someone delete my doubt please!

Re: Daemons right order?

if it works as-is now, then u can jst leave it as it is ...
there is afaik, no expected order in which daemons are loaded so  long as there are no dependency issues (i think hal depends on dbus daemon, so it must go after(although i think it starts dbus automatically by itself))

Re: Daemons right order?

Why are you backgrounding hal? And yeah, hal starts dbus automatically if it doesn't find dbus running. It's probably better if you let hal finish its job instead of trying to start a bunch of other stuff. gdm might have probably started while hal wasn't even at the point yet of checking dbus (lol, I'm just guessing on this). I would let run hal run normally and also try to put @powersave @samba @httpd @mysqld after you've initiated gdm, unless powersave doesn't like gdm running first...
